| 5 | Birth Contol and Acne | Do NOT take the generic Tri-nessa...it was horrible for me I had a stomach ache for a month straight. I never had that with the name brand. | F | 24 | 7 years | 2/2/2005 | 5 | contraception | feel bloating a few days before period starts..have some moodiness, but nothing too terrible | it works great for me, VERY regular periods..exact day every month! I've never had an acne problem, but while on this-I maybe get one pimple every other month, if that.. | F | 26 | 4 years | 1/20/2005 | 5 | Birth control | Ortho Tri Cyclen is the best!! They switched me to TriNessa a few months back. I'm sweaty, VERY sweaty, I'm achy, tired, and my boobs hurt! I hate this crap. I just called my pharmacy and demanded to be switched back. I'm worried about the pregnancy thing, too. Hopefully I dodged a bullet. | 2 years | 1/14/2005 | 5 | prevent pregnacy, acne | I did not have any side effect what so ever......a wonderful form of BC......predictable periods....everything you could ask for in birth control..... | was switched to Trinessa after reading other comments I decided NOT to take the chance of becoming pregnant and/or losing my relationship over uneeded mood swings........ | F | 18 | 1 years | 1/13/2005 | 5 | Birth control, cramps and acne | No adverse side effects experienced with Ortho Tri-Cyclen; I love it! There has been no weight gain and my skin is as clear as it has ever been. | I recently decided to switch to Tri-Nessa to save a little money. I only took Tri-Nessa for one month and it was the most horrible experience. I experienced unexplained crying spells, moodiness, cramping throughout the month and constant hunger, which resulted in gaining 5 pounds in one month. I was so relieved when I found this website and realized that I was not going crazy and that others experienced that same adverse affects. I am immediately switching back to Ortho Tri-cyclen. | F | 36 | 10 years | 1/10/2005 | 5 | Birth Control | None. No weight gain. I have had perfect skin since I've been taking this. THE BEST PILLS!!! | The original Ortho Tri Cyclen is the BEST!!! The generic, Trinessa, was horrible, made me depressed with crying spells. It made me crazy. Went back to the original in less than 2 weeks and everything was back to normal. | F | 27 | 6 years | 1/7/2005 | 5 | birth control | ortho tri cyclen is wonderful...I unfortunately have also tried Tri nessa and also had THE most horrible mood swings , angry outbursts for no reason, a 15 pound wieght gain (in amatter of 2 months), and depression sever enough to almost be hospitalized(Thank God I have a great Dr.) Ortho Tri Cyclen is wonderful, I have had no problems with it AT ALL. But Ladies, please don't ever ever ever get on Tri Nessa, it's almost a death wish waiting to happen, or a major relationship crusher. | M | 24 | 3 years | 1/6/2005 | 5 | Birth Control | None..........awesome BC solution | F | 30 | 6 years | 1/5/2005 | 5 | PCOS | some weight gain | Tried Tri-Nessa and it sucks. I'm more moody, added more weight, more cramps, etc. I'm going back to ortho asap. I loved it and HATE the generic. I'll work an extra job to pay the difference if I have to. | F | 26 | 5 years | 12/15/2004 | 5 | general reason/birth control | None, no break outs, no weight gaining, light periods | Loved it when I was on it. I was off for about a year and resently got on Trinessa and I have been on it for about 2 months and I HATE IT! My boyfriend can not keep up with the mood swings, I have either gained or just bloated, I feel horrible, my breast are tender and they hurt, no sex drive, I am switching back to Ortho. | F | 28 | 3 years | 11/18/2004 | 5 | Birth control | very regular periods, to the day. alternitive to depo pervera. | i love ortho tri-cyclen,dont EVER EVER take Trinessa, i got pregnant after only three months. many others have too. stay away from Trinessa for birth control | F | 19 | 1 years | 11/3/2004 | 5 | Painful/Irregular periods/BC | Bloating the week before and during period. Still have mood swings, some months worse than others. Gained 10lbs the first year on it (then lost it fast). | Used to bleed irratically, often, heavy for extended lenghts of time (up to 8 days), O.T-C made me regular (can set a watch by my period now), reduced cramps to first day of cycle - also the severity (used to get sick they were so painful) and amount of flow, only bleed three days at a time now and use regular feminin products. It's great being like clockwork! I would HIGHLY reccomend this product at the advice of a physician. I've tried one type of low pill and one generic, girl friend at work got pregnant second month on Trinessa. Will use Ortho for the rest of my non-pregnant, non-menapousal life! | F | 23 | 5 years | 10/26/2004 | 5 | | 10/21/2004 | 5 | Extremely painful periods | No apparent side effects. | Really helped with severely painful periods. Didn't ELIMINATE the pain, but made a big difference. Didn't shorten the length of menstration. No weight gain. No moodswings. Great means of birth control. | F | 20 | 4 years | 9/14/2004 | 5 | Painful Periods | F | 28 | 6 months | 7/18/2004 | 5 | birth control | not many | F | 27 | 5 years | 7/30/2003 | 5 | Birth Control | No weight gain. Mood swings seem to be minimal. Monthly cycle is consistantly regular. No spotting. Did not see a difference in acne. | I recommend this as a first option for birth control. I have no complaints. | F | 25 | 2 years | 8/14/2002 | 5 | birth control, pms | Side effects - great skin - totally cleared up my breakouts. There may be a slight loss of libido - but that could also be related to the fact that I work and go to school full time and life has been incredibly stressful. | Do not have sore breasts as with other oral contraceptives. DId not gain weight. Did not lose hair. | F | 31 | 3 years | 12/5/2001 | 4 | Birth Control & Endometriosis | Weight gain, irritability and ZERO sex drive. | The medicine did its job as a birth control and cycle regulator. Prior to taking the pill, I had very irregular periods. Though my periods are normalized, I have sever mood swings, depression, weight gain (not just blaming the pill here, nothing has changed about my diet and I exercise even more to counteract the gain!), and total loss of sex drive. Total. It's very noticeable. Symptoms started about 3 months into taking the pill. | F | 29 | 6 days 1X day | 4/21/2015 | 4 | pregnancy prevention | Nausea, decreased sex drive, dizziness the first week, breast growth, severe loss of appetite | I'm petite female 107 pounds, my breast was a 32c, before. Since taking the pills they've grown a cup which is a hassle given my small frame. I've lost my normal appetite I have force myself to eat. Faced Haven't begun the placebo pills yet they start tomorrow, I've had no breakthroughs bleeding, I think because the Dr. Had me start the pills the Sunday after my period ended. Plus I was already freakishly regular before bc id get my period exactly 29 days apart evrey month since it fuest began. | F | 25 | 3 weeks | 1/17/2015 |
